Sam and I read Piggy Smells Some Smells for this challenge. (18 pages)

Just completed the book which is 432 pages. This is the story of a man whose wife disappears on their 5th wedding anniversary. This book started out good and went downhill

I read my "My Mothers Daughter" by Doris Orgel, it was about four Greek goddesses, and was an ok read.

level 2 I read the book Friends Forever
The first word and last word repeat the letter f in the title. This story was about how they formed a friendship that lasted till they were adults. And it was about the bond that they formed that would last a lifetime.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
Riggs, Ransom 354 pages


The title and jacket cover caught my attention at Barnes and Noble. An unusual story – my niece had some interesting observations on the character development in this story.

For this challenge I read "How High The Moon" How and High both begin with letter H. Author is Sandra Kring and it has 352 pages. Started it on August 8 and finished it August 30. Is about a ten year old nicknamed (Teaspoon) who is being raised by her Mother's ex-boyfriend since she (Mom) ran off to Hollywood. Teddy has his hands full determined to raise her right. Teaspoon wants to be better for Teddy.
